Tell me about it, sure would be nice. I haven't even received a "Thank you for applying" email.

 

A little research would provide you with info like, we're not currently hiring. There is a holiday break going on.

Also, the pool has around 30 people in it for the Jan startup of hiring.

As far as a "Thank you for applying" email, I don't think they do that. After applying, and they like your stuff, they will do a phone interview and start the process. The recommendation letters don't help until the actual MIA interview. They don't help you get the phone interview.

As far as being 744 typed, "it don't make no never mind'. You'll go thru the whole training program anyway. Our failure rate is like one in forty, so no real cost benefit to hire typed guys/gals.

All that being said, I will contact the Atlas Exco and see if there is anything they can do. I know there was talk when World furloughed, of giving them some preferential handling. Remember, it's a points based system and it has worked VERY well. Bean counter type folks run it with VERY little crewmember input.

 

Well, according to this website, the application window is open. Also according your company's website they are accepting applications.

Atlas Air, Inc.

There's a little research for you.

 

Accepting apps and hiring are two different things. Yoter83 said we were hiring. We're not.

Earlier in this thread, (research) it was stated that we were not doing anymore "hiring" until next year...simple. Along with that, no more interviews until Jan '13 as well.

 

The research Whale is referring to is: this thread. If you go back just a handful of pages, someone has made an index to help locate the important gouge. Either way it's kind of a "right of passage" so to speak and many of us have gladly read it page for page. Thankful that those of us without the type rating or an inside connection have a fair shot at this gig.

 

A noble idea, but us line guys have little or nothing to do with the hiring process. I doubt the union has much pull either. HR runs it the way they want it. That said, through anecdotal evidence, it seems as though a good number of NA/World/SA guys have been called to interview. But you have to consider I've heard we received way north of 5,000 resumes from this app window, with something like 2% hired.

 

I apologize for not reading 486 pages of thread. I've been busy with other things, you know... like applying for employment.

 

Best of luck in your search for employment! However, if you're interested in a life at Atlas, my suggestion would be to heed the advice of those currently employed and read the thread. Tons of useful information contained within. Obviously, you can skim through many of the pages to get to the pertinent information that you're interested in, since there's also a fair bit of chaff as well.

 

"North of 5,000 resumes."
Atlas has low minumum flight time requirements so that would attract a lot of applicants. However, not everyone is willing to go on the road for 21 days at a time. My point is the pool of pilots actively seeking employment in the 121 market is south of 10,000.

 

How many in each class usually? If the pool has about 30 I am trying gauge when we MAY start....
